Community Council: Nominations

In order to get the Community Council from four to eight members again, we are going to have an election in a few weeks. All Ubuntu members are eligible to vote.

I will announce the details of the election soon. What we want from you now is nominations.

If you know somebody in the Ubuntu community, who

has been an Ubuntu member for a while

is dedicated to the project

is well-respected and known for balanced views and good leadership

has a good overview over various aspects of the project

is organised and has some organisation talent

(or you know that this all applies to you), please send an email to me (daniel.holbach at ubuntu dot com) with the subject “[CC Nomination]” until July 17th, 12:00 UTC. (I’ll be on vacation afterwards.) If you can confirm that the person is willing to stand for election, please do so.

If all four members are to be elected simultaneously, please consider using a reasonable voting system that can achieve proportional results. In other words, don’t use block voting (where everyone gets 4 votes and can’t stack them on a single candidate).

I recommend the Single Transferable Vote for this sort of thing, but if a ranked ballot is unworkable then you can use the Single Nontransferable Vote instead.
